    P!nk, Mariah Carey & Shakira Could Make for One of the Poppiest Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Classes Yet
    Mar 4 2026
    The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has become more and more open-minded over the years, inducting superstars from the worlds of pop (Madonna), hip-hop (Jay-Z) and beyond, and helping to evolve how "rock & roll" is even defined. So it's no surprise that we have some of the poppiest nominees yet this year, all angling to be inducted this fall, including P!nk, Mariah Carey, Shakira and New Edition. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about the just-announced contenders and where our colleague Andrew Unterberger is placing each nominee's voting odds heading into the Class of 2026 reveal.

  • Mumford & Sons on Getting Back Into the Ring With 'Prizefighter,' Album's 'Fairy Godmother' Gracie Abrams & Why A.I. Can't Make Their Music

    Mumford & Sons on Getting Back Into the Ring With 'Prizefighter,' Album's 'Fairy Godmother' Gracie Abrams & Why A.I. Can't Make Their Music
    Feb 25 2026
    When it comes to Mumford & Sons’ new Prizefighter album, “I think this is the best music we’ve ever made,” Marcus Mumford declares to the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast. “I love it more than anything we’ve ever done.” Prizefighter is the band’s sixth full-length studio effort and comes less than a year after its last set, March 2025’s Rushmere. That’s a fast turnaround for a group that historically has gone between two-and-a-half to six years between albums — but it was a chance meeting with writer/musician/producer Aaron Dessner that sparked the shortest wait between albums.

    The 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Discussion Has Already Kicked Off: Could BTS, Taylor Swift or Post Malone Be Up Next?
    Feb 18 2026
    On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are taking a closer look at the Billboard.com reader poll that went live last week asking who should headline next year's Super Bowl halftime show, Right now, BTS is leading by a landslide, with more than 85% of the vote. It would make sense for the newly reunited Korean superstars to cap their sure-to-be-active comeback year with potentially a big Grammys night -- like Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny have done the last two years -- followed by an epic performance on the Super Bowl stage. Of course, Taylor Swift is always in the Super Bowl conversation too, and we think Post Malone could be an overwhelmingly supported pick knowing how many genres he crosses.
